Lin Yu's life of traveling through time

Chapter 162: Survival in the Ancient World (31)

When Lin Yu heard the good news, a relieved smile appeared on his face.

"Bring those who were behind this back to the capital. I will personally deal with them! Also, let the King of Qi stay with her Second Prince. At least someone should watch their child wake up. Don't let anything get into trouble."

Soon, the mastermind involved in the incident was escorted back to Beijing. Lin Yu sat in the court with a dignified look.

Soon, all the prisoners in the villa were brought to the court. Lin Yu looked at the pale-faced people below, wondering where the former royal arrogance was.

Lin Yu looked at them coldly: "What you have done has resulted in the consequences today. The Crown Prince of Qi is being too clever."

The King of Qi looked at his son who was only concerned with talking about Yu Wanwan, and felt very disappointed. He still chose to bow down to Lin Yu and said: "My son has behaved badly, please be lenient with me, Your Majesty."

Lin Yu felt complicated. The King of Qi was a kind-hearted father, but Yu Wanwan's ability to deceive people could make them disregard the father-son relationship and human ethics.

"Ah, King Qi, please rise. I wanted to invite you all to help clear up the confusion for everyone. After all, these are the heirs you have painstakingly trained. Unexpectedly, my kindness has been wasted."

After these words were spoken, the Emperor of Qi lowered his head even deeper. Lin Yu thought that he had almost finished scolding him, so he stopped talking.

"Everyone, today I will fulfill my promise and clear up the confusion for you."

"Your Majesty the Great Han is wise and wise."

Lin Yu waved his hand, and He Lin escorted Yu Wanwan to the execution ground.

When everything was ready, Lin Yu called everyone to go to the execution ground to watch the execution.

As if she knew what was about to happen, Yu Wanwan, with her mouth gagged and covered with a black cloth, struggled desperately.

The people from the villa were also escorted by Huo Qing to watch the execution. There must be no mistakes, after all, they were supposed to see Yu Wanwan's head fall to the ground with their own eyes.

Along the way, these royal relatives and nobles who were bewitched by Yu Wanwan were shouting and screaming, which was really disturbing. Some of them were crying and pouring out their heartfelt feelings, struggling to save Yu Wanwan.

To break free, these once high-ranking descendants of the emperor resorted to throwing tantrums, biting and kicking. Their father, the emperor, felt deeply humiliated. He gnashed his teeth even more fiercely towards Yu Wanwan.

Finally, everyone arrived at the execution ground. Lin Yu sat on the high platform with a solemn expression.

Yu Wanwan was tied to the execution platform and was still struggling hard.

"The time has come, execute the crime!" the executioner shouted loudly.

The executioner raised his knife and slashed, Yu Wanwan's head rolled off, and blood splattered everywhere.

The bewildered princes and grandchildren of the emperor fell silent in an instant, staring blankly at the scene before them, as if their souls had been sucked out.

After a while, they woke up as if from a dream, the madness in their eyes gradually disappeared, and they regained their clarity.

"I...what's wrong with me?" someone murmured to himself.

When their royal fathers saw that their children had finally returned to normal, they cried with joy and thanked Lin Yu repeatedly.

The most complex and desperate people in the dark world are Lu Chengjin and the people of Qiguo who lost their country.

"What have I done? I ruined my ancestors' legacy for a woman. Hahahaha... How ridiculous." Lu Chengjin said almost madly.

Xiang Wentian walked over and knelt on one knee: "Master, it was Wentian who failed to protect you."

Lu Chengjin looked at Xiang Wentian with a complicated expression. Blame? He had no right to do so. They had clearly said they would work for the benefit of the people and unify the country, but now it was all over.

"Get up, Wentian. I don't blame you. It's my fault for not being firm enough. I was blinded by power and didn't take women seriously. You..."

How should he ask? Should he ask if he had surrendered to the new dynasty? But he knew Xiang Wentian wouldn't, he would compromise for him.

"Master, Wentian has always been your bodyguard."

"I know." He didn't know what he remembered, and asked anxiously: "Wentian, where is Linlang? Where are Zeyu and Hongwen? The State of Ju was destroyed, and they..."

"Master, don't worry. Madam and the young master have been arranged by the Emperor of the Han Dynasty to stay in the East Courtyard of the Imperial Villa. They are being taken care of."

Lu Chengjin breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I feel guilty towards them. Wentian, I beg you to protect them well from now on!"

Lin Yu rolled his eyes and said, "Oh, you've entrusted your wife and child to someone else. That's all you can do. You don't even dare to apologize in person. What a coward."

This not only made Lu Chengjin blush, but also hit Wu Qifeng hard. His wife and children were also in the villa, and he also wanted to end his life like this to avoid humiliation. Others were also constantly reflecting.

When Lin Yu saw that people still felt ashamed and reflected on themselves, it proved that there was still hope. He said that it would be too ridiculous if all those who could become heroes were fools.

He cleared his throat and said, "Everyone, the past is over. Now that Yu Wanwan has been eliminated, you have also come to your senses. But the mistake has been made. What to do next is something you still need to consider for yourselves."

Lin Yu continued, "I am not the kind of person who would kill you all. As long as you sincerely repent, I will give you a way out. After all, you are all talented people. I don't want to waste your talents, nor do I want to support you in vain."

Upon hearing this, Lu Chengjin and others knelt down to express their gratitude.

"Everyone, get up."

Lin Yu waved his hand. "However, the death penalty can be avoided, but the living crime cannot be escaped. Lu Chengjin, I will make you a marquis, but you have no real power. You need to reflect on yourself in the capital. Wu Qifeng, you will go to a remote place to be a county magistrate. If you can make achievements, I will reward you. I think you can govern a country well, and you should be able to do a good job as a county magistrate. As for the others, I will arrange places for you to go so that you can experience the lives of the people and stop you from being so arrogant. Oh! By the way, in my Han Dynasty, women can also serve as officials, so don't look down on women."

Wu Qifeng said in disbelief, "Aren't you afraid that we'll destabilize the Han regime? After all, we were once emperors and princes."

"Oh, you can try. I believe I can make people unable to resist. Forget about your diehard loyalists. I have said that the world belongs to the people. The people don't care who the emperor is. As long as they can have enough food to eat and live a good life, then it is worth supporting. Besides, I have never advocated the supremacy of the emperor. Above the emperor's power is the will of the people. As a county magistrate, you can experience the meaning of the people being more important than the emperor, and the meaning of the people being like water, which can both carry a boat and overturn it."

"I appreciate your instruction. I obey your command." Wu Qifeng was now completely submissive, not to mention Lu Chengjin and the others. After all, they were no match for Lin Yu. No wonder a man they considered a nobody had grown to this point in just a few years. It wasn't just his military prowess. At the very least, his understanding of the world was beyond their reach.
